PREFACE
The following article was written solely for the personal enjoyment of the author. As many of those who have read it have asked for a copy, it is now put into print.
It was not an attempt to set aside the significance of each of the gospels which the Spirit of God intended to be there. Rather it was to put together the total account as given in Scripture. In bringing together the facts in one narrative, it gives the overall view of our blessed Savior in His sacrifice for us.
The order in which the events took place may be impossible to determine and no claim to be exact in this is made. The order in Mark's Gospel (generally considered chronological) was followed primarily. The wording is intended to include all the events in an easily read manner.
Some statements are composites of more than one account. The wording may, therefore, not be what is remembered by the reader. Incidents are put together for simplicity of reading even when the event was interspersed with other action.
It is primarily the events of the last twenty four hours before the Lord Jesus commended His spirit to God; an amazing view of our blessed Lord. Our hearts bow in worship. In constant trials with His disciples, the priests and the Romans, He did not forget His disciples when He was taken in the garden, nor His mother at the cross. The account commences just before the Passover and continues through His resurrection to His ascension.
As you read this article may your heart be warmed as mine was with great enjoyment of this eventful period in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.
